Live printing stations built for your booth
Every station is engineered for a convention floor: compact footprint, a single 20-amp drop, low noise, and a crew that keeps the line moving so your reps stay in conversations.
The core: live DTF tee press
Our workhorse booth station is live DTF heat pressing. We pre-print your artwork onto full-color transfers, then press them onto blanks the moment an attendee picks a size. Colors are vivid, the print is soft and washable, and a finished tee takes under a minute at the platen. On Bella+Canvas 3001 or Gildan 5000 blanks it looks like retail, not a swag-bag afterthought.
Why it wins on a trade show floor: no screens to reclaim, no minimum runs, and no smell. One operator can move 40 to 70 shirts an hour, and two stations side by side clear a lunch-rush aisle without a bottleneck.
Stations you can add
Hat bar & patches
Richardson 112 and Flexfit caps with pressed patches or embroidered marks. A premium keepsake for booths that want to stand out from the tee crowd.
Totes & hard goods
Canvas totes and UV DTF tumblers. Attendees carry them the rest of the show, turning every aisle into signage for your booth.
Screen printing
For high-volume single-color runs we can set a manual screen station — useful for staff shirts or a bold one-color show design at scale.
Embroidery
Left-chest logos on polos and caps for a sponsor-grade finish when the booth needs something dressier than a press.
Staff & VIP apparel
Match your booth team and print partner or on-floor deal shirts on demand for press moments and closing photos.
What we bring, what you provide
Merch Troop brings the presses, tables, transfers, blanks, and a trained crew in Merch Troop or your-branded shirts. You provide the booth space, one power drop per station, and print-ready artwork — or hand us a logo file and we prep it. We handle setup before doors, teardown after, and a clean handoff of any leftover inventory.
